Product comparison
The match score measures fit against this guide's published rules (55 baseline points plus up to 42 for matched preferences). Missing prices earn no affordability points. Equal scores mean equal rule matches, not equal tested performance. Prices are dated planning evidence, not live offers.
Scores use recorded catalogue attributes, not measured performance. Budget and premium selections compare remaining brand finalists, so they are alternatives to the overall pick.
